Many retractors have bulky blades with bridging structures or rings that prevent easy access to the wound. This hinders surgical maneuvers and may impact clinical outcomes.
ReeTrakt has no bridges or rings, allowing instrument access from any angle, ensuring proper surgical technique. This can make all the difference in any procedure.
As surgery becomes less invasive, incisions are getting smaller. Older, bulkier retractors, such as the cumbersome stainless steel self retainers, hinder visibility and increase surgical error.
ReeTrakt's ultra thin base and low-profile tips ensure that ReeTrakt minimizes occupied space, while maximizing viewing angles. Surgeons appreciate these features, particularly with small incisions and difficult areas such as between a patient's legs.
The hands, arm and even body of an assistant holding a hand-held retractor clutters the surgical field. Meanwhile, self retainers are "top heavy" and react poorly to patient repositioning. Their instability may require assistants to hold the retractors or to suture or clip them in place.
ReeTrakt's lightweight, thin design and self-adhesive base eliminate the need for additional hands, freeing up assistants to ASSIST rather than perform as human retractors. A single user preps ReeTrakt, places it, and it performs the full range of retraction techniques. Once secured to the patient, it does not move—even if a limb is turned at any angle.
Stainless steel retractors can generate excessive force that could bruise and damage delicate tissue. Some also retract in a V pattern, also causing unnecessary tissue damage.
ReeTrakt is different. Each is independent, so various forces can be applied to different incision areas at the proper angles. The adjustable hook-and-loop strap, as opposed to a ratchet, allows controllable retraction force. Weighing only a few grams, ReeTrakt is also light, yet strong. With ReeTrakt, surgeons may freely move and rotate limbs with minimal disturbance.
Specialty retractors require complex assembly with many moving parts, springs and ratchets. Additionally, cleaning, dis-assembling and re-assembling them is time-consuming, frustrating and costs valuable OR time.
ReeTrakt is a single use, ready-packed sterile device. It is simple both in construction, application, and usage. Introduce ReeTrakt to your OR today.
